Abstract
An apparatus includes a server connected between a first computer network in which a computer virus may generate and a second computer network or a computer system as an object of security protection. In the apparatus, a collection unit collects irregular data representing a possibility of generation of the computer virus that may attack the server. A decision unit decides whether the computer virus is being generated on the computer network in accordance with the irregular data. A notification unit notifies the second computer network or the computer system of generation of the computer virus when the decision unit decides that the computer virus is being generated.
Claims20
An apparatus for detecting generation of a computer virus, comprising:
- a collection unit configured to collect irregular data representing a possibility of generation of the computer virus on a computer network;
- and
- a decision unit configured to decide whether the computer virus is being generated on the computer network in accordance with the irregular data.
An apparatus for detecting generation of a computer virus, said apparatus comprising:
- a server connected between a first computer network in which the computer virus may generate and a second computer network or a computer system as an object of security protection, said apparatus further comprising:
- a collection unit configured to collect irregular data representing a possibility of generation of the computer virus to attack the server;
- a decision unit configured to decide whether the computer virus is being generated on the computer network in accordance with the irregular data;
- and
- a notification unit configured to notify the second computer network or the computer system of the generation of the computer virus when said decision unit decides that the computer virus generates.
A method for detecting generation of a computer virus, comprising:
- collecting irregular data representing a possibility of generation of the computer virus on a computer network;
- and
- deciding whether the computer virus is being generated on the computer network in accordance with the irregular data.
A method for detecting generation of a computer virus in a server, the server being connected between a first computer network in which the computer virus may generate and a second computer network or a computer system as an object of security protection, the method comprising:
- collecting irregular data representing a possibility of generation of the computer virus to attack the server;
- deciding whether the computer virus is being generated on the computer network in accordance with the irregular data;
- and
- notifying the second computer network or the computer system of the generation of the computer virus when the computer virus is being generated.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable program code embodied in said product for causing a computer to detect generation of a computer virus on a computer network, said computer readable program code comprising:
- a first program code to collect irregular data representing a possibility of generation of the computer virus on a computer network;
- and
- a second program code to decide whether the computer virus is being generated on the computer network in accordance with the irregular data.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable program code embodied in said product for causing a computer to detect generation of a computer virus in a server, the server being connected between a first computer network in which the computer virus may generate and a second computer network or a computer system as an object of security protection, said computer readable program code comprising:
- a first program code to collect irregular data representing a possibility of generation of the computer virus of which attack object is the server;
- a second program code to decide whether the computer virus is being generated on the computer network in accordance with the irregular data;
- and
- a third program code to notify the second computer network or the computer system of the generation of the computer virus when the computer virus is being generated.
